Enjoy these next chapters. Since I'm posting on Christmas, Merry Christmas!
Chapter 15- Conjecture the Actuality
Future Larryboy breathed deeply as memories began to flood back in his mind. Then he slid to the ground off the side of the building to Larryboy.
Meanwhile, Larryboy was gasping for air. Then future Larryboy fell to his side.
"I'm sorry!" quickly said future Larryboy, "It...it was Alvin. He did this to me. He took away who I was."
"Uhh-huh," gasped Larryboy as he simply looked up at future Larryboy, "Yeah."
"I can't believe I fell for this trick. Why would I surrender?!" angrily said future Larryboy. Then he looked over to the other Larryboy again, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," said Larryboy, getting back on his "feet." "Now would you please help Archibald and I get back to the past and stop Alvin like we should have?"
"Definitely," smiled future Larryboy," Where's Archibald?"
"He was fixing the time machine at the science lab. I'll call him to see if he's ready." Then he called Archibald with a radio in his plunger.
"Hey Archie," said Larryboy to his friend, "Did you fix the machine?"
"Yes, yes I did," said a cheerful Archibald, "In fact, inculcating the era contrivance was quite facile. I just had to fix a few furrows and consociate the cable. I cannot conjecture the actuality that I was adept to re-discern time transit. Isn't that confounding? I do not mean to gasconade myself, but this is a rather marvelous acquisition. Do you think so?"
Larryboy did not know how to respond.
"It was easy," said Archibald, somewhat annoyed.
"Well why didn't you just say so?" asked Larryboy.
"Just get to the science lab. I will be able to wheel the machine out on a cart I found," replied Archibald.
"Ok," said Larryboy, ending the call. Then he turned to future Larryboy. "Come on, let's go."
"What do we have here?" asked Alvin, who was approaching them. For the first time in the future, it seemed as if he was powerless with no robots behind him or a cyborg next to him. He didn't have his floating platform either. It was just him.
"Look Alvin," said Larryboy, "you can't so anything now. You have no more robots or my future self. It's just you against me and me...with cool gadgets."
Alvin laughed, "Is that so?"
"Well, yeah," replied Larryboy.
"I wouldn't say so," sneered Alvin, "I told you I have more allies than you think. It's you against me and...Lampy!" smiled Alvin, holding up Lampy.
"Lampy" asked Larryboy, a little amused, "But he is just a lamp!"
Just then, Alvin set Lampy on the ground. Suddenly, the lamp stand with a drawn smiley face on its shade started to grow. At the bottom of its stand appeared robotic spider-like legs. Lampy became over twenty feet tall. From his sides came out robotic arms. The top two had sharpen edges while the rest had guns attached to them, unlike the lasers of the robots.
Both Larryboys stared up at the robotic monster that still had a silly simile on as Alvin laughed wickedly.
"Enjoy you traiter!" yelled Alvin as one of the sharp arms pulled future Larryboy upward by his shirt. "I gave my old friend here some upgrades too," said Alvin smiling evilly. Future Larryboy yelled as he hung from Lampy's arm. He was did not know what to do. Alvin never told him about this.
"And as for you," said Alvin, turning to Larryboy. Then he pulled out the remote that he had in his belt.
"Oh no," gasped someone nearby in the crowd of slaves.
Larryboy turned around and looked at the crowd. The person who gasped was actually future Archibald! Larryboy was shocked. He thought future Archibald was dead! Perhaps he made it out alive after all! Yet Larryboy could see future Archie sustained some injuries as well.
Suddenly, Larryboy heard a beeping sound. Alvin pressed the button on the remote. "I know I never used this before and that this was for those special emergencies," said Alvin, "This is just what I need it for."
immediately, the metal collars on the people's necks started to blink rapidly until they lit a smooth green light.
"Run," Bob told Larryboy.
Suddenly, the people's turned to a striking red. Their faces turned vicious but at the same time mindless. They were under Alvin's control.
Meanwhile, future Larryboy was carried away by Lampy, screaming. Larryboy was alone.
"Get him!" commanded Alvin, "And do not forget to say it!"
"All hail Alvin," muttered the crowd in a monotone voice as they crowded Larryboy. Everyone he knew was after him.
"It's over Larryboy," sneered Alvin.
Larryboy simply stared, wondering what to do. Then he shot a plunger and flew away.
A couple of notes on this chapter about the Archibalds.
For Archibald's speech with all those big words like inculcating and conjecture, I had to use a thesaurus a lot to write it. Did he confuse you like he confused Larryboy?
As for future Archibald, I originally planned for him to remain dead but I decided he would survive- only to try to go after Larryboy in the end.
